Fun with Gingerbread

Merry Christmas to all! Work recently sponsored a gingerbread contest. I was immediately interested in building a Cisco Nexus or a Juniper SRX. I was a little disappointed to find out the kits were pre-made gingerbread houses. How much fun is it to just decorate a house that's the same as all the other houses? (At least that was my thought). Other coworkers did a great job of decorating their houses, very fancy and neat. I have to say the attempt by myself and several accomplices was less that neat, but we made up for it with originality. I will also caveat this by saying we only used the materials we were given. Many people brought in "extra" decorations and frosting, which I feel went against the spirit of the competition, but I'll defer to the judges on that... (Next year, I'll get a freestyle kit and rock the competition!)

About Me

I've worked in the IT industry for 18 years as a sys admin and network/security admin (and a few other things).

If it involves a computer, I've probably done it.
